        <br>Pairing is made between players with same NBW.
        <br>It can be considered as a Mac-Mahon system where all players start with 0 as common SMMS (Starting MMS).

     <h3>Swiss with categories</h3>
        This system is deprecated and, for this reason, the choice has been disabled in "Create a new tournament" dialog box.
        <br>However, it is still possible to choose it by the "Change Tournament system" dialog box in "General" tab of "Tournament parameters" frame.
        <br>This system divides players in rank-based categories. Pairing is made internally in each category.
